Re: Infraction system?

I've heard (lol) that after getting 3 you taste the ban hammer. Though it's actually different in practice. It apparently depends on the mods/admins. I survived a long time with 3... It was a scary experience!

Re: Infraction system?

I've long known vb to have this function but this is the first time I've ever seen it actually used on AP. How's this work? If people get 10 infraction points they get permabanned?

We don't really use the points system. Three infractions puts you under consideration for a ban, but does not necessarily equate to one. The ratio of members to mods/admins is so great that monitoring the count for each member perfectly requires a fair amount of time, so the farther apart they are the less likely it will result in an immediate ban. The more active and more destructive members on the forum obviously get a higher priority so far as infractions are concerned, and depending on the posts in question a ban can come much sooner than simply three infractions. They can be reversed as well, like Magnetic's old one was. If you follow the short list of rules you should be able to avoid getting any infractions at all, really.

You actually never had three infractions. One was a warning, not an infraction.

But I did get off topic~ ;P Not intentionally though... I just start babbling, lose my original thoughts and follow random ones that pop one. Bad habit I know and it's even worse in rl where I make people facepalm when I start with 'OH! Btw this has nothing with what we are talking about, but yada yada yada'
